The Gift Of
God
Long before
the day when Mary gave birth,
Before God
formed man from the dust of the earth,
Before the
stars into the heavens were hurled,
There was the
Lamb who was slain
from the foundation of the world
Before the
deadly fall of the race,
God’s plan of
redemption was already in place,
His own Son
would die on an old rugged cross,
To save his
creation from eternal loss.
God foretold
his coming in the opening book,
The seed of
the woman for whom we should look.
The prophets
proclaimed the place of his birth;
Bethlehem of
Judea, is where God came to earth.
His name did
the prophets clearly foretell,
Mighty God,
Prince of Peace, our Immanuel.
In the
fullness of time, God’s word came to pass,
The birth of
the Savior to a young virgin lass.
His mission on earth was finally unfurled,
The Lamb of
God would take away the sins of the world.
It was for our
sin that he suffered and bled,
Yet,
triumphant, victorious, he rose from the dead.
Now seated in heaven He eternally lives,
Mercy and
forgiveness freely he gives.
Salvation is
promised to all who receive,
The greatest gift of the Father, and in him
believe
May this gift of God - His Son Jesus Christ
Bring true
Joy, and Peace, and Love in your life.
Merry
Christmas, and may 2014 bring you Joy, Peace, and Love!
